THE FILLMORE SILVER SPRING was electric on March 9th, 2022, as SLASH FEATURING MYLES KENNEDY & THE CONSPIRATORS brought their THE RIVER IS RISING TOUR to a packed house of die-hard rock fans. Delivering a high-octane set filled with massive riffs, soaring vocals, and pure rock intensity, the band proved once again why they are one of the most respected acts in modern rock. But before the headliners took the stage, rising all-female rock band PLUSH delivered an explosive 30-minute opening set that left the audience fired up and ready for more.
PLUSH kicked things off with seven hard-hitting songs, showcasing their original material and undeniable stage chemistry. The standout moment came with their thunderous cover of HEART’s “Barracuda”, a performance so powerful it would’ve made the original band proud. With strong vocals, precision musicianship, and serious energy, PLUSH more than proved they’re a rock force to watch.

As the lights dimmed and the first notes rang out, SLASH took the stage with his iconic top hat and Les Paul in hand, launching into a blistering set alongside MYLES KENNEDY & THE CONSPIRATORS. The band tore through tracks from their catalog, with a strong focus on their latest material, while mixing in fan favorites like “DRIVING RAIN”, “BACK FROM CALI”, “YOU’RE A LIE”, and of course, the explosive title track “THE RIVER IS RISING.”
MYLES KENNEDY was in top form, his vocals effortlessly matching SLASH’s soaring solos and gritty riffs. Backed by TODD KERNS (bass), BRENT FITZ (drums), and FRANK SIDORIS (rhythm guitar), the group moved with tight precision and infectious energy. A poignant mid-set performance of “FILL MY WORLD” slowed things down for a moment, but the band quickly returned to full throttle with heavier tracks that had the crowd on their feet.
The night closed with an unforgettable rendition of “ANASTASIA”, complete with a jaw-dropping solo from SLASH that served as the perfect finale. From start to finish, the show was a celebration of pure rock and roll—loud, passionate, and completely unrelenting.
